Dynamic changes of vegetation coverage in China-Myanmar economic corridor over the past 20 years

Indonesian vegetation response to changes in rainfall seasonality over the past 25,000 years

The hydrologic response to climate forcing in the Indo-Pacific warm pool region has varied spatially over the past 25,000 years1–5. For example, drier conditions are inferred on Java and Borneo for the period following the end of the Last Glacial Maximum, whereas wetter conditions are reconstructed for northwest Australia4. The response of vegetation to these past rainfall variations is poorly ...

Divergent Arctic-Boreal Vegetation Changes between North America and Eurasia over the Past 30 Years

Arctic-Boreal region—mainly consisting of tundra, shrub lands, and boreal forests—has been experiencing an amplified warming over the past 30 years. As the main driving force of vegetation growth in the north, temperature exhibits tight coupling with the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI)—a proxy to photosynthetic activity. However, the comparison between North America (NA) and north...

Subglottic laryngitis--Changes in therapy approach over the past 20 years.

OBJECTIVE To show changes in the management of subglottic laryngitis over the last twenty years in Croatia. METHODS We sent questionnaires to paediatricians and otolaryngologists (ENT) in 9 Croatian hospitals in 1993, 2003 and 2013. In the questionnaire we presented a case of a child with moderately difficult subglottic laryngitis, after which they had to answer questions about the management...

Epidemiological changes in tinea capitis over the sixty years of economic growth in China.

BACKGROUND Tinea capitis is a fungal infection of the scalp occurring commonly in children. Historical data indicate that clinical manifestations and the spectrum of etiologic agents vary greatly with geography, as well as socioeconomic affected populations. OBJECTIVE To study the possible connection between socioeconomic status, the disease patterns and the variability of etiological agents....
